Walleye can be kind of tough. We catch them right in with the rainbows while trolling spoons close to the bottom structure (30-35 fow) Ive never seen anything with any size come out of there but have caught a few over 20". Seems like we catch a lot around 15-16". I think someone could do pretty well drifting live bait on structure but ive never tried it.

Do you guys use flasher and flies on the finger lakes just like on Lake Ontario? I havent done any fishing on the finger lakes but I do some on Sacandaga lake for Rainbows but have never had any luck with flashers. I have some dodgers and spin doctors to use with normal great lake flies. I tried and 8" flasher with a smaller salmon fly once without any hits. I also have some Lake Clear wabblers but never have any faith in running them. I do much better with Mooslook wabblers and Michigan Stinger Scorpions.

Was there any other color on it? I think I have something like that but it might have a touch of orange on it. I'll get a pic of it tonight when I get home. I am not sure of the name of it since it came in a spoon lot that I picked up on Ebay.

Ray thanks for the info. I figured someone would have an idea to shorten the learning curve. I think I saw a video on either here or GLAngler that showed to take some of the lead out of the sheath and slip the mono in and tie a knot where the mono is in the sheath. Thanks again.

Can I use mono for a backer on a SWR with say 2 colors on it?
Also, new fishfinder is comming today. When I mount the transducer do I want it below the hull on the transom or even with the hull?
Thank you

What is the best fishfinder/gps combo that I can buy for under $500? I am trading my boat for a smaller boat but I dont want to give up the gps and just go with a basic fishfinder. I do a lot of lake trolling and get out on Lake O a few times a year and the GPS is key for me with speed and the navigation. I am not brand loyal. Let me know guys.
Thanks
